With the valuable support of Bernard Herrmann in a terrifying score and Paul Hirsch's superb editing, De Palma accurately exploits Hitchcockian themes for the first time, and even creates his most dazzling split-screen scene ever.

MCT:April 20, 2008De Palmas early foray into the horror/thriller genre is one of his best films. Sisters is a tight film with a great story and lean pacing. De Palma's use of split screen is inventive and imaginative for its time. Bernard Herrmann composes one of the coolest horror themes ive heard in a while. Margot Kidder is fantastic as Danielle Breton.

An early gem by Brian DePalma, when he still made good, cool little movies. This is very Hitchcockish (as are all of DePalma's thrillers), but with an interesting little twist of his own thrown in. Also, an early performance by Margot (Lois from the 70s/80s SUPERMAN movies) Kidder.

This was a fairly engaging thriller, although I'm still a little puzzled by the last shot of the film. De Palma uses split screen to interesting effect, and although the ending is somewhat predictable, it's still a fun watch.

I loved this movie when I taped it off the late late show and cut off the last 30 minutes. Years later I finally caught up with it and discovered I was better off that way; the climax is a silly mess. The first two-thirds and final shot are terrific, though.

DePalma's first foray into Hitchcock territory is really impressive. All these years later it still holds up really well. All his technique is on display. Tracking shots, split screens, violence etc. It has just been remade but I highly doubt that remake can hold a candle to this.

If you want to see who Brian De Palma REALLY is, take a look at "Sisters." Before his style got diluted with Hollywood flashiness, you can see some of his most brilliant cinematic choices in this little movie that gleams with De Palma's admiration for Alfred Hitchcock. Quite creepy and suspenseful!

An interesting thriller from Brian de Palma in his prime. Also has a brilliant score on behalf of the grand maestro Bernard Hermann.

DePalma's first full blooded foray into his Hitchcock pastiches. Margot Kidder gives a chilling performance as the twins at the centre of this combination of Rear Window and Psycho. Great use of split screen and a terrifce performance by the great Charles Durning

This is DePalma at his most histrionically Hitchcockian. The split screen is taken out of the kitsch of the 1960's and given a serious cinematic make over. This was the film where DePalma started to make his name and broke away from his early zany comedies. A Revelation!

This is the film that raises the whole negative criticism that De Palma just nicked loads of stuff from Hitchcock. When -and if- you ever come to watch this, think of them more as homages and you'll see how difficult it actully is to do!!!
Moderatly good thriller with some good nightmare scenes, the scenes building up to them though are a little boring and very reminicent of Rear Windows + Psycho (the two clear Hitchcock references).
Soso, was a little disappointed :(
